Sin Offering

[Lev. 4:2] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:
Animals brought to the doorway of the tent meeting hands laid on the head and it was slain.
Blood some blood is taken into the tent of meeting and sprinkled 7 times in front of the veil.
Blood put on the horns of the altar of incense in the tent, the rest poured out at burnt altar.
Body the fat of the sacrificial animal was burnt on the altar to G-d.
The remainder of the bull burned in a priest who offered the animal ate it clean place outside the camp. in the court of the tent of meeting.
Priest, the high priest, a very serious offense, both as regarded himself individually, and the influence of his example.
According to the sin of the people he brings guilt on the people. On his way to the court of priest - a solemn ceremonial appointed only for very grave and heinous official duty be engaged in be beneficial either to himself or the people, unless it were atone for by blood.
The skin of the bullock, and all his flesh was in ordinary circumstances, these were perquisites of the priests, but in excretion necessary for a sin of the high priest, after the fat of the sacrifice was offered on the altar, the carcass was carried without the camp 4:12, in order that the total combustion of it in the place of ashes might the move strikingly indicate the enormity of the transgression, and the horror with which he regarded it. See Heb. 13:12-13. Blood was applied to the alter of incense 6, 17.
13-21 as a national guilt, the leaders or head of the tribes, being the principal aggressors in misleading the congregation, dips their finger in the blood seven times and sprinkled the drop seven times before the veil. Then put some portion on the horns, and poured the rest out at the foot of the altar. The fat was the only part of the animal that was offered on the altar the carcass carried out of camp with the ashes and consumed with fire.
This referred to the congregation when it acted on the word of the Sanhedrin believing the decision to be valid, but later finding the Sanhedrin made a mistake that opposed the biblical laws. In such cases the congregation was required to bring an offering. The Sanhedrin had to have all 71 judges present when the decision was made, the head of the leading school had to be present, the Sanhedrin must have ruled with such words as: you are permitted to do this or that.
22-26 rule (judge sin - was less serious in its character then the high priest or the congregation. A sin offering of inferior value was required - kid of goats; neither was the blood carried into the Sanctuary, but applied only to the alter of burnt offerings; the carcass was eaten by the priest-in-waiting.
Guilty was the death penalty knowingly, willfully, and deliberately.
27-31 common - expiatory offering was a female kid, or a ewe-lamb without blemish; and offered the same as the ruler.
Anyone who willingly transgressed any of the sins punishable by death, provided it was a prohibitive commandment involving some physical action, was required to bring a animal sin-offering. The death penalty was attributed to those sins violated deliberately. Concerning this commandment, one was required to bring a sin offering need be brought if they were violated unintentionally, if done inadvertently the sin-offering was from a fowl or grain. None of these sacrifices possessed any intrinsic value sufficient to free the conscience of the sinner from the pollution of guilt, or to obtain his pardon from G-d; but they gave a formal deliverance from a secular penalty (Heb. 9:13-14); and they were figurative representations of the full and perfect sin offering which was to be made by the Messiah.
